I’m an impossible fan–tom Baker is Who God, capaldi is an amazing actor, but I haven’t seen a single episode. The doctor/companion mix always seems like such a delightful stew. I loved eccleston, rose had good range but wasn’t my favorite, tenant took it to another level, I really enjoyed Martha, but I just didn’t care for Matt.
And I think I know why.
Matt is an excellent actor. And this may sound contradictory… I hated russel Davies writing. But I think he was an effective foil against moffat. In hindsight, Matt would have better been used with scripts that came from the apparent conflict of Davies and moffat than just moffat alone.
I am completely walking back an opinion I had a few years ago when I was a moffat fanboi.
